Representative Wyatt Aiken ia tbe
man through whom charges were filed
against the appointment of John G.
Caper* as district attorney. This he
stated to-day and gave bis reasons.
Some time ago," be said, " I came to
tbe conclusion that Capt, Capers wan
not the man for such a place, that it
was a great injustice to tbe State, to
both Democrats and Republicans, to
bave him in an office of such responsibility.
Numerous persons complai led
to me and I bave no doubt complained

as no one else seemed to take the matter
op, I determined to do it, and as I do
not wish to be thought half hearted
in this or anything else, you may say
that for several months I have pursued
the subjeot persistently and relentlessly.
"
Here Mr. Aiken stopped, then after
a little added: "And you might say
I have called oq the president and the
attorney general a number of times
and Iliave placed with them all the
letters and complaints that have come
to me."
" What other oharges besides the one
connecting him with the distilling
company were filed?" Mr. Aiken was
asked.
* Oh, it is not necessary to go into
that. I will only say that they are of
a public nature concerning his actions
as district attorney and especially as
Republican referee for South Carolina.
There were all sorts of complaints
about theappointments he recommended,
but there is no use to go into particulars.
There is no manner of doubt

agents of tbe department of justice
who made the Investigation evidently
satisfied tbe president and Attorney
General* Moody as to this."
" Did you assist these agents in any
way? "
"No, not the agents themselves. ]
onlv furnished what information 1
could get hold of to the department of
justice."
There is a general disposition on the
part of the South Carol! a delegation
here to Jet Republican pontics alone.
Representative Aiken says be is so inclined
himself as a general thing,1 but
that in this case he felt it was his duty
to bis district and to the whole State
to do what be could to rid the State ef
an nnworthy man.
" Yes, I told the president that there
were good Republicans in South Carolina
and that J would not ask bim to
appoint a Democrat, but to appoint
some man like Mr. Cochran or some
others I mentioned, who bad the re"
spect of all the people, Democrats as
" well as Republicans. No, it was not a
personal matter, I felt it my duty to
the State."

was made from wool of South Carolina

admires Speaker Cannon, although
be bas never seen him. She made the
^ gift through Representative Aiken of

' gave cloth for a suit. The Speaker
had the material made up by a wasb*

Owing to the very many opnortuni- jjl1
ties for soldiers, who are being discharged
at tbe expiration of their tearm P.
of sevice, to secure positionsa t good pay ?
the army is is having a bard time get- .
tiog these men to reeniist. Out at Fort '
McPherson, whare the Seventeenth
United States infantry is at present ?
stationed, very many of tbese soldiers
are being discharged almost every day. P?
The reason for this is that the men ,
have just returned from two years' ser- ?
vice in the Philippines, and most of
them enlisted in the army several
months before shipping for duty in the j
Far East. As they have now been in
Atlanta several months, this means
that their three years have expired,

The following qeci&l frona Anderi
will prove interesting leading to
i people df Elbert county. For a
aider of months the development of
water powor pt Gregg shoals and
erokee Sboala has been talked of
. O. H. Bbeffied. of Atlanta, the proter
of the enterprise has been vork
constantly on the venture, and
w it seems that his fondest dreams
7e materialized into a reality'. The
iole speaks for itself, which reads
follows:

reta'ry of state at once for a coram fail
for tbe SavaDDab River Power
upany, and tbe company will be
mally organised <d about two weeks,
e company will develop Qregg and
erokee Shoals, two important water
vers on the Savannah river. The
porators of the company will be: Dr,
M. Orr, H. H Watkins, of Anderi;
J. E. Slrrene and J. L. Orr. of
wnville; H. A. Orr and O, H, Sbefd,
of Atlanta, and C.Elmer Smith,
Yqrk, Pa;
'The company will be entirely sepae
from the Anderson Water, Light
1 Power Company, though for the
?ent the two companies will occupy
i same offices.
'Mr. S. M. Orr this morning made
> following statement concerning
5 new company:
'The developnent at Gregg Shoals
11 be begun in the next thirty days
ere 2,500 horse power of the river
II be turned into electricity and
arge block of it brought to Anderi
so that all the present needa for
otric power for small industries will
supplied by next fall. We contemte
erecting a stone dam at Gregg
oals 1,000 feet long, twelve feet wide
the base. The: contracts for the
ieel plant will be let outfln the
>xt thirty days. The ooetofthis
tial development will be $300,000.
e money arrangements have all
in perfected and the work will go
ward at once. Mr. J. E. Sirrene of
senville, is engineer. The princloffice
of the oompany will be at
derson, although the probability is
,t there will be linee run to Elberi.
Ga.. Lowdensville. Calhoun Falls,
bevllle and Greenwood, 8. C., last
soon as the seoond development at
arokee Shoals is completed. Cher?
Shoals are situated in sight'of
Seaboard Air Line bridge aorqps
Savannah river, about two miles
3i Calhoun Falls. When both of
se shoals are developed tbey will
rregate about 9,000 horse power.
'The present development at Gregg
sals is about four miles from Barnes
;ion. seventeen miles from Auderand
is about the same distanoe
m Elberton and Abbeville."
'be officers of the ne* company
re not jet been fully determined,
Orr say a. Dr. Orr, himself may beie
president, but he is anxious for
son, Mr. H. A. Orr who is now
ing in Atlanta, and Is the southern
resentative of the General Electric
mpany, to come back to Anderson
